TIME reported this?
They must be about to go out of business.
Sort of like all those millions of children "at risk for hunger." Gosh, I'm at risk for hunger, too, if I don't go to the grocery store.
This one is the one Dems love to use to get women to vote against the GOP, Obama is using it now.
On MSNBC they use rhetorical arguments like :
“Don't they want their daughters and wives to earn as much as men?”
Or
“Paying women more is good for the economy as they will spend more”
The “spend more..” argument.
You have quite a few FReepers who quote #2. I don’t see how you could seriously believe it. It doesn’t pass the “Name One” test.
People WANT to believe in the boogie man.
“Why do these reckless claims have so much appeal and staying power?”
Because in today’s society, being the victim is rather empowering and potentially profitable.
Bookmarking for my File-O-Fax.
I heard the 1/5 female college students sexually assulted just the other night on CBS news reporting about the “yes means yes” thing in California.
They are claiming that their comparisons are for the same occupation.
Love Christina Hoff Sommers.
Bookmarked.
Even if we assume these Myths are “True” they can be refuted based on the fems response to them...
MYTH 1: Women are half the world’s population, working two-thirds of the world’s working hours, receiving 10% of the world’s income, owning less than 1% of the world’s property.
Of course the Feminists never seem to whine directly to the countries that are the worst offenders first, they like to chase after the SAFE, Low Hanging Fruit, that is closer to home first...
MYTH 2: Between 100,000 and 300,000 girls are pressed into sexual slavery each year in the United States.
Not a damned peep about having porous borders is helping to facilitate this from the Feminazis... Acorn, cough cough...
MYTH 3: In the United States, 22%–35% of women who visit hospital emergency rooms do so because of domestic violence.
What percentage of those are from illegal immigrants and how much of this is caused by the masocistic cultures we seem to import with great gusto, ie, immmigrants from the middle east... But the fems never bitch about this.....
MYTH 4: One in five in college women will be sexually assaulted.
Of course Fems are also anti-self defense... so really even if we assume thsi to be true... what is their solution... Well other than Mandatory Neutering for men in collge, which is already being done by their professors...
MYTH 5: Women earn 77 cents for every dollar a man earns—for doing the same work.
Of course fems cite the US and ignore all those other diverse and culturally equated coyuntries out there where women ARE actual SLAVES... Again, whine about the US low hanging fruit that is safe, ignore the thorny bush of the rest of the unsafe world...

If a business paid women MORE it would be seen as “holding the door” for them and they would chastized for that as well....
I know. Obviously they are wrong.
Bump
Or even better, wouldn't lower pay for women who perform as well as men on the same job make them more marketable than men for profit industries? To hire all woman? To discriminate against men?
Sowell used to point this out but GOPs in congress seem scared to even debate the issue.
I once had a female dentist who owned her own dentistry will all female employees and I really liked the service there, much better than any men dentists I had before her.
Having been in sales for 30+ years, I know of zero women who “earn” less than a man and quite a few a who earn considerably more...
Myth #3
Tiger Woods was reclining on the Laz-boy and watching sports.
His wife walked in and wanted to know what was on the TV.
“Dust” he replied and then the fighting started...
Not so long ago there was an article locally that claimed that 25% of women on campus would “experience” rape. When pressed, the source admitted that “experiencing” rape wasn’t being raped, it was talking about it, seeing it on a movie or television screen, or reading about it. Under that definition I’d say 25% was low, and it would have to include men.
